  • Connect your Android device to a computer using a USB cable, then enable USB debugging in the Developer Options menu. This will give you access to the device’s file system and enable app debugging.
  • Activate the “Allow mock locations” setting in Developer Options to use mock locations. As a result, you may test apps that use location-based services without being there.
  • The “Animator duration scale,” “Window animation scale,” and “Transition animation scale” parameters can be found under Developer Options. To change the animation speed, set them to “Off,” “0.5x,” “1x,” “2x,” or “5x.”
  • Locate the “OEM unlocking” option under Developer Options to enable OEM unlocking. Some Android devices can now have their bootloaders unlocked, which is helpful if you want to install custom ROMs or root your device.
  • Keep in mind that using Developer Mode might be dangerous and may violate the warranty on your device. When changing these settings, please exercise caution because improper use may adversely affect your device’s performance and stability.
